AEM - How to restrict a template from showing in a certain path

[david_pérez_rod]

Hi!,

I wonder if someone has achieved what I'll post here. In order to allow a template to be created under a certain path, there is a flag allowedPaths that receives a regex.

So, if I want my template "test" to appear only under /content/www/xx/xx/test-templates and child elements, I can do this:

/content/www/.*/.*/test-templates(/.*)?

But what if I want to make the opposite? I want the template "test" to appear in every /content/www/xx/xx/ node and beyond, EXCEPT /content/www/xx/xx/test-templates and children?

I have tried several ways but no luck so far. Do you have some hint regarding this?

Thanks!

See this KB:

But there does not seem to be a way to restrict only a part of an allowed JCR path.

Thank you sir! I took a look at that article and also asked this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34905975/aem-how-to-restrict-a-template-from-showing-in-a-certain.... There's a promising comment there, which probably I could use with allowedPaths in order to restrict those paths that does not match the given regex.

I'll post my results here in a few :)

You can try the following pattern for this use case-

^/content/www/xx/xx/(?!(test-templates)).*$

Hi,

I found the pattern content\/www\/xxx\/xxx\/xxx\/legal\/(?!(test)).*$ this will work for your usecase 

Kunal i think same as ur regex may be i am late :)

Thanks

Thank you! but those xx are intended to be anything (.*) and when you do this the regex changes :-\
